I've seen several 696-1100 bikes with the "normal" +/- 30mm. The construction (with the engine mounted higher in the frame) confuse even workshops.
The relatively large slack with a 'dancing/jumping' chain is why the chain 'bites' a little on the front of the swingarm protection plastic shoe. It's not the sprocket size. My 14t S2R shows no wear after 230.000km.
You can move the swingarm through it's travel by the use of a ratchet strap if you want to avoid removing the shock. More people should find 'ground zero' using that method. When I tighten the strap to the point where front sprocket-swingarm axle-wheel axle are alligned (and the chain tightest) I set the chain at ~10mm there. When I remove the strap I can read "my" correct slack. On my bike it's ~38 instead of stock ~32 due to my custom suspension and geometry.
